Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is West Memphis’s Preferred Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Company

We’ve been serving Arkansas river communities for over 42 years, and West Memphis has always been part of our route. Russell Haines built this company in 1984 on the principle that a sweep should leave your home cleaner than he found it, and that promise still governs every truck we send across the I-55 bridge.

Our West Memphis customers tend to find us the old-fashioned way: a neighbor mentions the name after we cleaned their flue on 7th Street or cleared a bird nest near Broadway Cove. They call because they want someone who’ll show up when promised, explain what they found in plain English, and put the guarantee in writing.

Most West Memphis calls reach us within two rings, 24 hours a day. We schedule sweeps for neighborhoods from the riverfront up to the industrial corridor near 7th Street, and our technicians carry Arkansas contractor registration - not a Tennessee license that stops at the state line.

Every job ends with photos you can see, a written verdict, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. No paperwork to file, no arguing.

Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Services in West Memphis

Level 1 Inspection

A Level 1 inspection is the standard annual check for chimneys that haven’t changed and are performing normally. In West Memphis, we perform dozens of these each fall in neighborhoods like the original plat near Broadway and the post-war subdivisions off Missouri Street, where homeowners are lighting their first fires of the season. We examine the readily accessible portions of the chimney exterior, interior, and connecting appliance, checking for creosote buildup, obstructions, and basic structural soundness. Most Level 1 inspections in West Memphis are completed in under an hour, and we’ll tell you honestly if your chimney needs more than a sweep.

Level 2 Inspection

When you’re buying a home near the river, after a chimney fire, or following any structural event like the windstorms that roll off the Mississippi, a Level 2 inspection is required. Our Chimney Cleaning & Sweep team uses a specialized camera system to document the full length of your flue, capturing images of cracked clay tiles, eroded mortar joints, or moisture damage that a visual check would miss. In West Memphis, where humidity wicks through aging masonry year-round, we regularly find deterioration that homeowners didn’t suspect. You get the photos, a plain-English verdict, and a written report you can use for insurance or a home sale.

Creosote Removal

West Memphis’s damp heating season creates a particular problem: residents often burn whatever wood is available, and wet or green wood produces third-degree creosote - the glazed, tar-like deposit that fuels chimney fires. We’ve removed heavy creosote buildup from chimneys in 72301 and 72303 that hadn’t been swept in a decade or more. Our technicians use professional-grade rotary systems and hand tools matched to your flue’s condition, not a shop-vac and a prayer. The work is messy by nature, but we protect your floors and furniture, and we don’t leave until the space is as clean as we found it.

Soot Removal

Soot accumulation is more than a cosmetic issue. In West Memphis’s older homes, particularly the brick ranches built in the 1950s and 1960s near the original city grid, we’ve found soot layers thick enough to restrict draft and push combustion gases back into living spaces. Our soot removal service clears the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue to restore proper airflow. We also handle Fireplace Services in West Memphis for homeowners who need the full system cleaned and inspected together. Most soot removals are completed in a single visit, with upfront pricing confirmed before we start.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Memphis

We don’t substitute builder-grade materials to pad a margin. Our trucks stock professional-grade components from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco - brands that hold up to the moisture stress of Mississippi River humidity. When a West Memphis chimney needs a new cap, a crown repair, or liner work following your sweep, we have the right parts on hand or can source them quickly through our Arkansas distributors. No waiting two weeks for a Tennessee warehouse to ship across state lines. The materials we use are the same ones specified by chimney professionals nationwide, and we document every installation with photos for your records.

Common Chimney Cleaning & Sweep Problems We See in West Memphis Homes

• Moisture-wicked mortar joints. The ambient humidity along the Mississippi River floodplain keeps masonry damp year-round. In West Memphis’s mid-century brick homes, we’ve found mortar joints so eroded that water runs straight through the chimney stack into attic spaces, a problem far less common in drier inland Arkansas cities.
• Green-wood creosote glazing. Because the local heating season is short and damp, many West Memphis residents burn whatever wood is handy, often before it’s properly seasoned. The result is rapid third-degree creosote buildup that standard brushing won’t remove - we see this regularly in neighborhoods off Missouri Street and near the industrial corridor.
• Original unrelined clay flue tiles. Homes built between the 1940s and 1970s across 72301 and 72303 frequently still have their original clay flue liners, now cracked and shifted after decades of thermal cycling. Our camera inspections catch this damage before it becomes a safety hazard.
• Improper cross-river contractor work. We’ve been called to correct sweeps and inspections performed by Memphis-based companies whose technicians carried Tennessee credentials. Arkansas requires separate registration, and work performed without it can void your warranty and complicate a home sale.
